# Multisig _**Robert Spigler** -- 2021-05-13 at 1:22 AM #slack_ Multisig is incredibly important (especially from a UX design POV), but there is a long history of technical issues. For details, please read: * https://shiftcrypto.ch/blog/the-pitfalls-of-multisig-when-using-hardware-wallets/ * https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2020-August/018132.html * https://shiftcrypto.ch/blog/how-nearly-all-personal-hardware-wallet-multisig-setups-are-insecure/ * https://medium.com/nunchuk/the-missing-multisig-standard-5b4092e3ea92 To solve this, a BIP was drafted: https://github.com/nunchuk-io/bips/pull/1 Which is now in it's final stages here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1097 The text of the BIP can be seen here: https://github.com/hugohn/bips/blob/bip-hugonguyen-bsms/bip-hugonguyen-bsms.mediawiki This is really important work - multisig has been implemented in Core for almost a decade, but you still can't securely create a multisig wallet through the GUI. A ton of work has been done along the way - HD wallets, descriptors, PSBTs, refactoring, offline signing, etc. UX/UI is the last important step! I have a bounty here as well: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/21071 This is meant for both HWWs and (offline) versions of Bitcoin Core, to be able to create multisignature wallets. I thought I would post this here because a clean UI is very important for this. (edited)
